I once opened my laptop to send an email and somehow ended up researching whether medieval monks had better attention spans than we do.
Yes, $40/month for 5 “coworking apps” that were just group Zooms, 7 music generators, countless Pomodoro timers, phone jail locks… Some were fun, but none stuck for more than a week.
Now THESE were great — the Newports, Clears, Allens had great helpful stuff to say about the philosophy of focus. But what I wanted was something more concrete and easier… I wanted one button to press when the work was hard and my attention was drifting.
On an airplane with broken WiFi I had my “I'm in the Zone” moment . I got so much done, distractions were uninteresting to me… I felt great when we landed. Kotler had written about this, but suddenly it was real…and it changed how I thought about work.
I've given over 400 talks on Flow States and
you're welcome to watch some of them here.












Flow is a measurable, almost magical brain state. Your prefrontal cortex that makes you self-conscious quiets down…
norepinephrine sharpens attention…
in short, focus stops feeling like effort.
People in flow get dramatically more done — not by working harder, but by stopping the fight with their own attention. Why didn’t someone tell me about this in college? grrrrr.
(want to go DEEEEEEP? I wrote this blog post)
Based on this,
my co-founder Tony & I designed Sukha:Yeah, you can tap/click the image



























































My favorite thing any Sukha member
has ever said to me:
“I have two kinds of days now:
3pm I'm playing with my kids,
or
6pm I'm still at my desk wondering where the day went.
The difference is: did I open Sukha that morning.
So I pay for Sukha because my kids are not going to be 2 and 4 forever.”
Love it? Membership is $20/mo or Lifetime for $400. (I'd start with the cheap one)
Stop it. Just make a decision, dude. If you're fine with how your life is, just keep on keepin' on..
Nah. I hate apps that bombard you with ads and emails to buy their upsells and add-ons.
With Sukha, you get to try EVERYTHING for 3 days free. If you continue as a member, you get EVERY FEATURE.
No emails, no in-app banners, nothing.
Just you, focusing.
Yes. Lots of stuff.
I'm kidding.
The world we live in is crazy distracting. You'd have to be blind and deaf not to be distracted by all the lights and sounds coming from your phone and laptop.
Sukha's here to help with that. Not by making you blind and deaf. By silencing all that noise for a golden hour or two every day.
No. I'm not a doctor. If you think you've got something going on, go get checked. I did — I was medically diagnosed with ADHD as an adult.
Didn't actually change much other than give me an 'ohhhhhhh THAT explains a lot' moment which was really funny for my wife to witness.
Boy do I feel you on this one.
I checked 41 focus websites out recently and all of them look like their marketing teams went into ChatGPT over lunch and typed: “My corporate overlord told me to make a new website...ideally use some bold, sans-serif font to make all the same promises as everyone else — ‘save time’ ‘focus better’ ‘get more done’ ‘etc.’ Oh — and if my boss likes it, ship it and tell her I did it.”
If Tony & I hadn't created Sukha, I don't know how I'd choose.
We really wanted Sukha to stand apart — to create a new category of complete Flow State apps. I know we'll get copied, but for now we're a category of 1.
With Sukha, we wanted a one-button-get-us-into-a-Flow-State, not a “open a music app, turn on desktop focus mode, silence our phone, open my task manager app and a timer app, etc.” every time we wanted to get in the Zone. (Remember: we're lazy)
Is the document in a language you understand? That's always a good place to start.
Ok, but seriously — that loop usually comes from a task that feels too big or too undefined for your brain to grab onto, so you retreat to something smaller and finishable (my word).
The escape to your phone is the symptom of a target your mind couldn't lock onto.
Shrinking the work to one clear, achievable next step is what stops the loop, which is one of the conditions Sukha is built around. Wanna break a big task down or make it more clearly defined? Ask your AI assistant. My peabrain likes having one simple thing to get done at a time.
A lot of other apps have descriptive names that relate to their features: we “brick” your phone, we block websites “cold turkey,” etc.
Sure, we could have called this “Flow State App #9”...but really, Sukha is named after what we want for you - it means “happiness” in Sanskrit. It's not about a feature, it's about a feeling.
The happiness you feel from doing your work with ease and being back in control of your day. It feels amazing.
Sukha is free to try for three days, no commitment required, so you can test it on your actual work before deciding.
Getting started takes less than 10 seconds: click any gold “Start” button, sign up with your email, and you get the full Pro version for 3 days with unlimited sessions.
Doesn't work for you? Cancel and all your data are deleted. (yes, “data” is a plural noun. There's that copy editor instinct again. Same need to show off my grammar skills that annoys my wife over dinner. Go me.)
It helps to build a habit: the more you practice dropping into a flow state, the more easily you can access it, so start each workday by pressing Play before you begin.
Research shows it takes about 20 minutes to drop in, so try Sukha when you have a real task that'll take 30–60 minutes.
Then look up when you're done and notice how much you got through — and how you feel.
Yes.
Sukha runs in your browser on desktop or laptop - Windows, Mac and Chromebook. You don't need to download anything.
It also works smoothly alongside tools like Google Calendar, Asana, Slack, and Todoist.
Hells yes.
If you scrolled down this far, you're not looking for a focus app - you're procrastinating. You should be watching a comedy channel on YouTube. Or checking out our new webtoon: “Confessions of a Distracted Founder.”
Tony & I have both done laundry to avoid sending an email…we have minds that wander but still want to win.
We built Sukha because we wanted to feel unstoppable.
And we believe you can feel this way, too.
C'mon in. The water's warm.
